I came back to Hicks Creek to bury the past… I didn’t expect to find a future.


What was supposed to be a quick trip home turns into something much more when my brother ropes me into staying to help with the family business. I’m restless, counting the days until I can leave this small town behind again. Then I meet Maya Greene.


Strong, passionate, and impossible to ignore, Maya is everything I didn’t know I needed. Working alongside her stirs something in me I haven’t felt in years. But just as I start to let my guard down, long-buried secrets surface, threatening to undo everything.


I came back to close a chapter of my life, but now I’m facing a run from the past or fight for a future I never saw coming.
